The report, titled How China’s Economic Aggression Threatens the Technologies and Intellectual Property of the United States attribued China's rapid economic growth to be "in significant part through aggressive acts, policies, and practices that fall outside of global norms and rules." It also concludes that "China’s economic aggression now threatens not only the U.S. economy but also the global economy as a whole." In particular, the report considered recruitment of science, technology, business, and finance talent as part of China's inappropriate acquisition of U.S. technologies and intellectual properties from America’s national security innovation base.
